Burnley(home)predictions

[robinrover]

If we have 2 centre backs(Hanley and Kilgallon or 2 on loan)we are more than able to get at least a draw.
If we have a botched up defence like against Bolton we are getting a tommy tanking.
2-2 draw at the moment that could change when the team is announced.

[BenBRFC]

3-1 Burnley

Oh well, **** happens

[seventwo]

A Burnley win by at least two goals, if they get one early it could be a massacre.

They are playing well and have great spirit, we have feck all.

Cant see that happening at all Sven. Do you think they are that much better than us? I dont think anyone is that much better than anyone in this league. Last saturdays result was a freak, due to us resting key players (for this game) and injuries. As was the first game against Bolton (the 4-1).
Dont get me wrong, they are okay, but they arent Man City. They are about the only side I could see turning up, and being 3 or 4 goals ahead. As it was, we should have beaten them at home.

What this isnt, is a reverse of the last time we where sat in the auto positions, and our rivals sat just outside the play-offs with a chance of going up still. That game ended 5-0.

This one wont.
We wont lose this game.

[Quickenthetempo]

Your right we are not much better than anyone but we very rarely look like getting beat at all.
It's not flash but every player knows there job and tends to perform it. We are a bit German like if you will and most opposition fans walk away thinking we aren't that good and shouldn't be anywhere near 2nd place. Well apart from Forest as we slapped them purple.

It will be 1-1 or we will win by the odd goal.

Aye, fair comment. Your league position is no fluke, and your consistent nature has been your greatest asset. You rarley look like losing, and even if you do, you usually get back on track the game or so after. You have found a way of getting results in a league notorious for the not getting consistent results.

[alfinyalcabo]

I absolutely refuse to give a forecast for this match.. :s

One thing that is certain is the ref will give you all the help and decisions you need ( sending offs ,dodgy penalty etc..)

Last week we weren't right. They were thinking about this game.

Sometimes I wonder if you're that fella who sits near us and boo's at anything;-)

You're not are you????

[LincolnClaret]

The one game you can't predict is a derby. You were soundly beaten last week and we're coming into it on the back of beating Forest and Derby. The form book says an away win is likely; history and the fact it's a derby would suggest otherwise.

I still think a point is a good point for us.

1-1

[mybloodisclaret]

Not sure why my claret brothers are so confident bout this one, this game is always a tough one for us, we do have a tremendous squad and dont get me wrong they are playing tremendously well, but derby day is different somehow, you have managed thru cheating (the foul on ings at the Turf) and awful decisions (olsson and fat lad) to remain unbeaten for the last few games.
The way I see it is... if the ref, the very able Mr Dean, has a good game, we could well win, and perhaps should win by maybe two?? a bit of controversy against us and defeat is a rare chance, in honesty I would take a draw now.

To be fair, we cheated (as you say ...but your not bitter at all) during the 5-0 game you strangely didn't mention. We went easy on you at 5 when in reality we should've gone for 6 or 7.

A point will do me.
we need to forget which team we are playing and concentrate on the bigger picture, we have bigger games ahead of us ( no offence rovers ) to get involved in a make or break 90 minute game. We can ill afford to pick up any silly injuries or suspensions.
It's rovers cup final not ours this is the last game rovers have to salvage anything from another mediocre championship season, if we lose it will behow we react to weather we go up or not but win... well it will be the catalyst for the remaining 12 cup finals.

I haven't disrespected you or your club but facts are facts dont get ate up.
we have been the little scruffy neighbours for far to long and now the sun is shining on us you get all upset and start the calling.

It clearly pains you as at 37 you have never seen burnley beat blackburn and your ****age years of supporting the english champions is just a distant memory.
I fear a burnley win may tip you over the edge.

Like I say a draw suits all parties, we go up, you can say 35 years and the circus can start again either in august or whenever we get relegated.

Burnley best hope they manage to get promoted if they wish to keep hold of Sean Dyche and Ings Vokes

Sean Dyche might be in the premiership next season but will Burnley be with him, On the evidence of the way you have bottled your last few chances to beat us unlikely

excatly. Funny how none of these muppets are around at any other time.
Its good we have Alf, Stan, Padders, Yorky etc, as they are just normal clarets.

These excited lads turning up telling us its our cup final. Oh the irony. The fact they had to come on here to tell us this, always makes me laugh.

And the fact I actually wish them well and hope they get themselves up seems to confuse the hell out of them.

We all know the rountine by now, its been this way for my whole lifetime.

They come on get very excited, lose, get shown up and disappear off...then a week before the next derby match,they all tyrn up and do it again.

The whole thing makes me laugh.

"It's rovers cup final not ours this is the last game rovers have to salvage anything from another mediocre championship season"



It's comments like the above that mean you are exactly the type that should be tarred with said brush.

You lot really do make me laugh. You genuinely all seem to think that's it, job done, the sands have shifted. Phuck me, all because of about 18 months of football.

And yet none of you appear to have spotted the irony. You have gone on about us being arrogant for decades now. Maybe some were, but we were competing at a higher level than you (for a period the highest level) fo

[champs95]

Dont dazzle the poor lad with logic Dunny.

Let them be excited, its going to be funny. Remember we know the final page of this little story.
We have heard it before.
They get a manager, who stumbles onto a winning formula. It is a one off, as he simply never got results like this. For now, its looking a complete one off. That happens in football.
They go up, he leaves, the better players do aswell. And they are subsequently relegated. And revert back to exactly what they are.
Owen Coyle was a footballing genius I seem to remember. The best thing since sliced bread. A legend.
He left, he became rubbish overnight & labelled judas.
Now, he never was any good. We told them that, but no...same lads pile on here, tell us 'this is their year'
We do the double and none are seen again. Until this week...and shock horror, what are they saying? All the same *******s. Just enjoy sunday, and the season, and dont get too ahead of yourselves. Ask, what happened last time? Did going up mean hu

[AucklandRover]

I'm with Alf on this one. It's ridiculous to think a meaningful prediction for this match is possible when there are so many uncertainties and so much history.
At this point, it is even feasible that Rovers will be fielding only one legitimate centre-back, and that a youngster making his debut.
On FORM, Burnley should win 3-0, but I would be very surprised if form proves to be the only factor.

[Font_of_knowledge]

The last time we went up we did get "massive" investment into our first team. Well, by our standards anyway, but it was done in a controlled way. This meant we were well prepared for relegation if/when it came. It proved to be good management as it happened. Despite OC's obvious limitations, I really think we'd have stayed up had he stayed. We were only 5 points, or a win away to Wigan, when we hit the post and they went down the other end and scored in the final minute, from staying up.

The rest went on wages and paying off debts which by any business standards again, is good practice. We also bought our ground back.

This time, if we are lucky enough to go up, we aren't already saddled with debt and an ageing squad. We have a much younger squad, very little debt, even to directors. We own our ground now so any investment of the reported £120m would be on the playing squad (most of it) aside from maybe £15m for a new stand and training facilities.

We're certainly in a much stronger

That 5 nil match was a mare! I think you hit the bar almost from kick off and in the second half our full backs were virtually spinning into the ground. We tried to leave but even the coppers were laughing saying "you can't, you've to stay right to the end!"

Surely our time has come, but Derby day and fat lad and his mates will be a potential leveller.

It's been mentioned above, form can often go out of the window in Derby games.
But we've grown into in different beast under SD.

I'm quietly confident of three points.

Just hoping any idiots (wearing either colours) don't give the Lancs Constabulary any reasons to continue the ridiculous travel arrangements.

Burnley 2-0

[scouseclaret]

"Its all very funny. The only thing that matters, is your inability to beat us."

That's the point - its the only thing that matters to you, because all that is left amongst the wreckage of your football club is your record against us (which, lets remember, is actually only 11 games with the last three drawn.)

For us, of course, whilst we would dearly love to put the 35 years thing to bed, to say "its the only thing that matters" to a club with a very real opportunity to win promotion is plainly ridiculous. If, next time we meet, you're bragging about 40-something years (and 12 games) coz we've been in a higher division, I'll take that in a heartbeat.

Oh, and for the record, the 5-0 was one of the most painful experiences in my Burnley-supporting life, but its ancient history now. Far less relevant than the 20 points that currently separates us!

[thewellernut70]

In all honesty at this point I would take a point and move on to the Brum game mid week.Local bragging rights are what they are and it is still a big game for both sets of supporters.I will be glad around 2:30pm tomorrow when it's all done and dusted for the time being

Everything other than accepting you have been beaten by the better team more often than not.

Our cup final?
If you lose on Sunday, and it has an effect on the rest of your season, then I'd say it would have big say in what happens from now until May. You have done wonderfully well to get to where you have. I for one wish you well. I hope you make it. I dont like you, but I respect your achievments.

Stan, I really didn't see you winning, but fair play to you, it's that kind of a season.
We simply have to take this one, not much else can be said. No excuses, no blaming the ref, no slating your fans, no slating your club.
You came & beat us fair and square. When you win, you enjoy it. When lose you accept it.
To you and Alf, Padds, Yorky. I extend congrats. You are putting yourselves in such a great position. But the attitude seems to be grounded. One game at a time.


Haha...lads like above, never heard or seen him before? I've had many chances to go and crow on CM. But not once have I done so. Your an absolute bell end if you turn up to crow now?!!! Says a lot about you. Where were you when you lost NuMan blah blah blah? Copy and paste a conversation you didn't have any input in you all like? I'd entertain you if you had once done on here to say well done in all those years.
Any old prick can come on now, and they will. For't decent regular lads, well done, enjoy the victory.

That's rather unfair Champs. I keep a low profile usually because of how sensitive these things can be.

I am sure BigMoon will back me up.

You're aiming your frustration at the wrong claret bud.

and I DID say well done for all those years Champs. Never a bad word from me.

One of the most influential people regarding seeing through the differences we have was a Blackburn supporter who I miss very much.

He was nicknamed Jimmy Hot Shirt, he had a stall on Burnley market and his lad Mark, used to run the Blackburn stall. Great people.

Just trying to extend the hand of friendship. Obviously chose a bad time.
